Marco caught this short clip on his phone yesterday. The video quality is dodgy at best, but you can make out Ivy opening her hand to give Marco "five", then clenching a fist for a "pound". Ivy spends much of the day in a foggy, agitated state. Apparently rewiring the brain is a painful and confusing process. The agony she experiences is strangely, a sign of tremendous progress and is something she will likely have no memory of. However, it's difficult to witness someone you love in such a helpless state of despair. Thankfully Ivy gives us these brief moments of lucidity. Her exhausted smile is a tiny hint of what's to come.

THANK YOU for this post!!!!!!! HOPE just what I needed. Please let me know what you guys need down there, whatever I can send, whatever I can do here in SLO...no request is too large. Please just ask. Thank you for this blog and thank you again for this latest post. Ivy means so much to me and to so so soooo many more, knowing how she is doing is precious information. XOXOXOXOX.
wow... well done Ivy! and well done on the video Marco, you've shared a great moment with everyone who couldn't be there at that moment. thank you
I keep playing this short video over and over. Thank you Marco!
When I read last Friday's message about Ivy being agitated, etc. I started to wonder about that and what it meant. I too have come to the conclusion that I believe it's a good sign, even though it must be painful to watch. She must be trying so hard to make things work and I can't help thinking it is the way for her to come home.
I know it's already been said, but I can't thank you enough for this blog and what it means to be able to see Ivy's progress.
We'll see you soon, Ivy!!
Ivy - I so enjoyed meeting you and working with you the other day. The video is just a small glimpse of the big things to come for you! My 6 year old Bodhi asked us if we could tune in for you last night (our version of praying) - which I thought was so sweet - so we all did: Bodhi who's 6, Finley, who's 4, Ron and I.
See you soon.
Much Love,
